Equivalency / Reciprocity

I would like to apply for:*

Equivalency (Pro Board, IFSAC, or DoD certification)

Reciprocity (Not nationally accredited)

This means that you have a certification which is already recognized and accredited by the PROBOARD, IFSAC, or the Department of Defense (DOD). The NH Fire Academy will grant direct equivalency for these certifications. You WILL NOT receive a certificate from the Division. You will have your training certificate recorded on the Fire Academy student transcript database. There is NO FEE for equivalency.

This means that you have training and/or certification from an agency or academy that is NOT PROBOARD, NOT IFSAC, NOT Department of Defense (DOD) accredited and you would like to have an analysis done of your training to see if it meets or exceeds the current NFPA and State of NH Training standards to be eligible to challenge both the written and practical exam process to obtain a NH certification and PROBOARD accreditation.

Select up to three Certifications for Equivalency

Equivalency Certification 1*

Equivalency Certification 2

Equivalency Certification 3

Supporting Documentation Upload

You MUST provide an electronic upload of your supporting certifications clearly showing the PROBOARD, or IFSAC, or Department of Defense (DOD) seal of accreditation on the certificate. If your certificate does NOT contain one of the above seals, we MUST be able to verify your accreditation through the corresponding agency’s website. Any certificate which can not be verified WILL NOT be granted equivalency.
